K-ON! Season One Quick Review


Oh shit I haven't post anything in a three months well let's change that shall we?

Good morning/aftenoon/and evening everyone I'm some guy with his opinion and my opinion is like a nose. Sorry for the lack of post, I've been through hard times lately with school, personal struggle etc. But now I'm back and what better way to starts my comeback is to become a weeb pleb. We are gonna be talking about K-ON! or Keion in Japan. this show is popular in among anime fans and I think the perfect way to starts become a modern anime fans, but why is that? Well let's explore!


This anime takes place in a girl high school where our main character Yui Hirasawa just starting her junior year when she was told by Nodoka to get a club already because she's been there for 2 weeks. Meanwhile Ritsu wanna join to the light music club with Mio, and there's something about Tsumugi or whatever and that's the show. Not the best from what I could described but what makes this anime so special is the interaction between characters, and how their personality hold the band together. Yui is carefree and very clumsy but can be focused on one thing only makes it the most relatable out of the members, Ritsu is more flashy, very energetic, and likes to prank Mio which is the shy type of the group but she has a strength of great songwriting and not giving up, perfect waifu material there (I'm sorry for that I've been gone for too long). but she's not my bitch that goes to Tsumugi, now I can explain this because 

A. she's playing keyboard and of course I can relate to her since I've been playing that shit
B. her humbleness even though she's rich as fuck she keep to be humble in front of her friends which I adore
and C. I'd fuck with every blonde girl

and also in this season we get another member (YOU'RE NOT EVEN DONE SEASON ONE FFS) named Azusa with a great introduction 


What a good time, her characteristic hasn't been known in this season yet but from what in this season told us she kinda like Mio if she's more pure and kinda confrontational about a problem. 

So that was our main members let's briefly talk about the side character. Nodoka is Yui best friend and she's fine but nothing is fleshed out yet for her which is ashamed because I kinda like her attitude. Ui is more motherly while Sawako is very wild. 

Well that was done now let's talk about the soundtracks in this anime because they're rocked. the balance between the guitar and synth line are superb, I've never heard this soundtracks this well made ever since Attack On Titan and that's a high bar indeed. they never felt overstuffed and clean, that's one thing I adore is how raw some of the instruments are especially the outro. the song that Mio made is probably one of the best with the guitar and the pluck bass makes it one satisfying listen. Can't wait to buy the soundtracks soon.

there's some negative things about this anime mainly the comedy can be wincey but that'd be given since it is a slice to life anime. another big problem that this anime have is some episode felt hollow, there's no weight to it especially the episode where they spend their winter. Also some character do bend the line of human decency even they got called out by Azusa as a matter of fact and the last thing is NOT ENOUGH SONGS YOU FUCKERS

But at the end of the day I still do enjoy this, might not be for everyone though but with dynamic characters, great soundtracks (even though it's not that much) and okay if not shaky comedy makes this an enjoyable season, can't wait to watch the long second season and a movie so stay tune for that. In the meantime I have some other anime to dissect.
